Description

UNMISTAKABLE. ORIGINAL. AIR-COOLED.

Motorcycling is a sign of pure freedom: landscape, corners, straights, every mile counts. If this is the path you have chosen, the R nineT is the perfect companion and knows hardly any limits when it comes to your personal fulfillment thanks to its countless customization possibilities. The character of its air-cooled boxer engine, combined with its state-of-the-art technology, irresistibly propels you forward in a way that can be clearly felt with its full torque curve. Right from the start, the R nineT has enthralled, inspired and stimulated motorcycling enthusiasts around the world.

Unmistakably the R nineT.

The R nineT has an uncomplicated style but nevertheless a completely unmistakable presence. It embodies the passion and innovation of over 90 years of motorcycle construction – naturally together with the classic BMW Motorrad proportions: striking boxer engine, compact tank, slim rear. All materials are of consistently high quality; the surfaces are carefully refined. Added to this is an immense attention to detail and real craftsmanship. The fender for instance is screwed to the fork feet using two forged brackets. And the headlamp holder is made out of aluminum.

Born to be customized.

The focus when developing the R nineT was its modular concept right from the outset: for the highest degree of customization possibilities. Countless professional and private modifications prove how much potential the R nineT has. Open interfaces in the electronics facilitate and alleviate the installation of electric components. Added to this is the well thought out separable frame. The end piece of the rear frame can be easily disassembled: for a purist and stylish solo look, or for alternative seating options.

Features may include:

  • Twin-cylinder boxer engine.

Powerful and reliable: the heart of the R nineT. The boxer is more than just an engine – it is a statement, a lifestyle.

  • Steering dampers.

The elegant conical connection of the steering damper is an homage to the engineering skill and a sign of the love of design at BMW Motorrad.

  • Type plate.

Who are you and where do you come from? The type plate of the R nineT reveals a lot more than just "Made in Berlin".

  • Variable rear.

Whether you are alone or traveling as a pair, with the variable rear, you define your R nineT's look in just a few short steps.

  • Seat supports.

Forged from solid aluminum, the seat supports form the focal point between the tank, seat and engine.

  • Pure aluminium.

Unpainted, raw, high-quality. Numerous parts made of brushed aluminum give the R nineT an unmistakable look.

  • ABS.

BMW Motorrad quality, combined with the latest safety technology, assist in a carefree riding experience.

  • Fender bracket.

The solid aluminum struts from one cast nestle against the front-wheel cover.
